Duke Professor: 90-Year-Olds Triple Their Strength In 10 Weeks | Dr William Evans

Duke Professor reveals how 90-year-olds tripled their muscle strength in just 10 weeks - and why we've been measuring muscle mass wrong for decades. Dr. William Evans explains the revolutionary new test that predicts disability, mortality, and even Alzheimer's risk. Learn the exact protocols for maintaining muscle mass as you age, the truth about protein requirements, and why your doctor isn't testing for sarcopenia. Plus: critical warnings about GLP-1 weight loss drugs and muscle loss in older adults.Dr. William Evans is a professor of medicine at Duke University whose pioneering research established sarcopenia as a recognized medical condition. In this episode, he reveals groundbreaking findings about muscle mass and aging that challenge decades of scientific assumptions.Dr. Evans explains why traditional methods like DEXA scans have been measuring the wrong thing, and introduces his revolutionary creatine-based test that accurately measures muscle mass with just a single urine sample. His research on over 4,000 people proves that muscle mass is central to how we age - affecting everything from physical disability to cognitive function and mortality risk.We discuss practical strategies for maintaining muscle, including resistance training protocols, optimal protein intake for older adults, and the concerning effects of GLP-1 weight loss drugs on muscle preservation. Dr. Evans also shares insights on hormone therapy, the future of muscle-building drugs, and why exercise remains the single most important intervention for healthy aging and Alzheimer's prevention.🌐Links in this video Dr Evans page at Duke University https://medicine.duke.edu/profile/william-joseph-evans Short Physical Performance Battery https://www.physio-pedia.com/Short_Physical_Performance_Battery MyoCorp website https://myocorps.com/Seeking Health supplements: 10% discount code Richard10 https://crrnt.app/SEEK/-dm0MyrQ, Histamine Nutrients https://crrnt.app/SEEK/EpM7paAOAX3 Life Astaxanthin 20% discount code MODERN20 https://tinyurl.com/2t3w26nwhttps://www.choosemuse.comStemregen 15% discount Code MODERN https://tinyurl.com/45z968yr (Only available in the US)Renue by Science all 10% discount with code MHS https://renuebyscience.com/ Nuchido Time+ 20% discount of first purchase with code MODERN20 https://nuchido.com/MODERNIf you would like to support our channel please consider signing up on patreon https://patreon.com/ModernHealthspanYou can also find us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/modernhealthspan
